AMENDMENT TO SECTION 4, ARTICLE II OF THE REVISED RULES ON CAREER EXECUTIVE SERVICE (CES) ELIGIBILITY

WHEREAS, Presidential Decree No. 1 dated September 24, 1972,
created the Career Executive Service Board (CESB) to serve as the
governing body of the Career Executive Service (CES) and mandated it to
promulgate rules, standards and procedures on selection, classification,
compensation and career development of members of the Career Executive
Service;

WHEREAS, paragraph 5 (a) of the same law explicity provides that
“a person who meets such management experience and other requirements
and passes such examinations, as may be prescribed by the Board, shall
be included in the register of career executive eligibles;”

WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned law,
the Board passed CESB Res. No. 459, s. 2002 and a corresponding circular
(CESB Cir. No. 1, s. 2003) laying down the new rules and procedures in
the Career Executive Service (CES) Eligibility;

WHEREAS, Section
4 Article II of the aforequoted policy expressly provides that “for
purposes of assignment to CES positions or appointment to CES ranks, all
other government examinations administered by agencies mandated by law
to conduct government examinations shall not be equivalent to the Career
Executive Service Eligibility Examination conducted by the Board;”

WHEREAS, it is deemed necessary to amend the said provision to clarify
that its intent was to convey that rank could only be attained via the
CES eligibility process and through no other government examinations.

NOW, THEREFORE, foregoing premises considered, the Board RESOLVES, as
it is hereby RESOLVED, that Section 4, Article II of the Revised Rules
on Career Executive Service (CES) Eligibility (CESB Resolution 459, s.
2002 dated October 8, 2002) is hereby amended to read as follows:

“Section 4. CES Eligibility an Exclusive Requirement for
Appointment to CES Ranks. Only a CES Eligible, upon conferment
of CES Eligibility by the Board, and assignment to a CES position by
the President or the appropriate appointing authority, shall be
appointed to a CES rank by the President upon the recommendation of the
Board. For this purpose, no other government examinations could
substitute the CES eligibility process given by the Board for rank
appointment.”

RESOLVED FURTHER, that this resolution shall take effect fifteen
(15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette or in a
newspaper of general circulation in the Philippines.
